MODE: INSTANT WIND SPEED WITH ELECTRONIC COMPASS
Compass display:
The compass display is given in degrees on the small digits . The
Xplorer shows magnetic north, and not geographical north!
Measurement:
To carry out a measurement as accurate as possible, hold your
instrument perfectly vertical, as when measuring wind speed .
If the Xplorer is tilted, it will show
rather than an incorrect
reading, unlike many electronic compasses .
Calibration:
IMPORTANT! Calibrate your Xplorer before the first use and at each change of environment or battery.
When the instrument is first started from the factory, it will only display
for the compass .
Hold the button pressed down for approximately 3 seconds and release when is
displayed . Keeping
the Xplorer completely vertical,
slowly
turn in a complete circle; it should take approximately 20
seconds to complete one turn . The progression of the screen will be as follows:
Upon successful calibration, press the button to confirm and return to the compass mode. To obtain an
accurate calibration, the impeller MUST NOT turn! If there is wind, shelter the impeller between your
thumb and your index finger.
Note : The earth’s magnetic field are disturbed by metal environments, buildings, power lines, vehicle
interiors, magnetic fields generated by any electrical equipment and by magnets. In order to obtain
accurate measurements, move away from the source of disturbance or to recalibrate .
